Show Gallant Was the Word of Englishman to His Queen A pendant to the historic cloak incident of Queen Elizabeth and Sir Walter Raleigh Is surely supplied sup-plied In this story, told by Arthur Croxton, many years manager of the London Coliseum music hall (in his reminiscences): The courtly mayor of a small town In the Midlands of England had the honor of dancing, at some public ceremonial, with Queen Alexandrathen Al-exandrathen princess of Wales. She smilingly warned him that she had just had measles in her household, house-hold, and that she hoped that she would not give him the disease. Bowing low, the mayor answered. "Your royal highness, I should be happy to take anything from so charming a source." |
